School Help and Resources

Tutoring – SCC students qualify for one-on-one tutoring assistance — two hours per week for classes with five or more credits, and one hour per week for classes with four or fewer credits. Tutoring spots are available on a first-come-first-served basis, so it’s smart to sign up at the beginning of the quarter if you think you may need help.

Among Google’s apps are Docs, which functions like Microsoft Word and can save files in ‘.docx’ format, and Drive, for cloud storage.

Off-Campus Discounts

College students can often get discounts by flashing their school IDs or ‘.edu’ email accounts. In most cases, age ain’t nothin’ but a number — older students can get the same discounts as teenage students. Many of the places that offer discounts don’t advertise them, so it doesn’t hurt to ask if you aren’t sure.

Technology – Students can often get discounts on technology. Companies that offer student discounts include Apple, Adobe, HP, Dell and Best Buy.

Amazon Prime – College students can sign up for six months of Amazon Prime for free.amazon.com/student

Tickets – Many places sell discounted tickets for students, including movie theaters, museums, Amtrak and Greyhound. Tickets through Seattle Arts and Lectures are often $10 with a student ID. The Henry Art Gallery offers free admission for students.
